Homemade Tubular Pick

When it comes down to it there is nothing better than manual tools for your Lock pick Set, whether they be retail, homebrew, macgyver style. DIY'ers look here.

Yes, I agree. When I can reply to a post on the Public area to help someone with anything technical I can and I will, no probs.

I was referring to your requests, if any, for information that shouldn't go public, but I should have specified that.

My apologies.

well if youre looking for something to hold the feelers there ive got one solution lol i work at valvoline and we replace many plug gaskets on a daily basis, some of these plugs are pretty small, if i was you i would go to your nearest pennzoil (i realize there is only one valvoline in wisconsin, i used to live in wausau but pennzoils and midas s are everywhere) and ask for a few small rubber/metal gaskets these things are amazingly durable. theres my two cents GO WARRIORS! lol
If it aint broke, Dont fix it. Just take it apart and see whats going on inside!

Southord picks are more expensive than most but... you get what you pay for.


These are the best tubular picks ever. I have both of them also, simply amazing.
